Pikmin Bloom lets you cool off with the new Shaved Ice decor Pikmin

Pikmin Bloom's Beach Resort event ends on the 30th.

Starting August 1st, a new Shaved Ice decor Pikmin event begins!

Complete event challenges to earn seedlings and other cool rewards.

With Pikmin Bloom's Beach Resort still running until the 30th, excitement is building for fans. But if the summer heat is too much, why not cool down? Pikmin Bloom has just introduced the new Shaved Ice decor Pikmin to help you chill out.

These Pikmin launch alongside the return of Ice Cream: 2024 Flavor and Summer Sticker Decor Pikmin, running from August 1st to the 30th. Looking like they’ve just been scooped from a bowl of shaved ice, they’re the perfect summer companion to the existing seasonal lineup.

For those outside East Asia, shaved ice might be unfamiliar—but this icy treat, layered with sweet syrup, is a beloved summer tradition in places like Japan.

Sweet as syrup

Watch for event missions that reward you with random items—like Fruit Syrup Bottles, which grow into Shaved Ice Decor Pikmin, plus flower petals and more. A large flower in the center of the stage will bloom periodically, offering a Gold Seedling alongside other prizes.

Missions for these tasty new Pikmin (don’t eat them!) begin when the event starts. If you need a break from the beach and want to beat the heat, now’s the time to dive in.
